Аннотация:Zintl clathrates are the large family of inorganic compounds that combine aesthetically beautiful structures and interesting properties, including superconductivity and high thermoelectric efficiency. This review surveys various aspects of chemistry and physics of these compounds. It includes classification of Zintl clathrates, their crystal chemistry, electronic structure and properties, diverse synthetic routes to clathrates, as well as prospects of creation of new functional materials on their base. The applicability and limitations of the Zintl approach to the analysis of chemical bonding in clathrates are also contemplated.
